My Suxbox360 thread

[Daedius]

Honestly - in the looks department I find the PS3 rather ugly compared to the 360

 

[jamestclark29]

The PS3 and XBox 360 will have equal graphics.

As for the overheating, it is only a very small percentage of consoles. This happens with every launch, for example the PS2 disk drive. The only reliable manufacturer is Nintendo.

The 360 supports a maximum of 3 wired controllers and 4 wireless.

your complaining about the media functions? what about sony putting 6 USB slots in the PS3 for you ipods and psp's?

every console only has one or two good games at launch, the rest are rushed as the developers only get the final development kits shortly before launch.

the 360 will have a much stronger game lineup that the original:
Alan Wake, Blue Dragon, Dark Sector, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Elveon, Gears of War, Lost Odyssey(made by the final fantasy creator), Resident Evil 5, Too Human
within the first year or two

mass effect(a new 3 part trilogy developed by bioware(Knights of the old republic))

I'm not gonna say the 360 sux, I just think Microsft just....:

--- rushed it out too early
---hyped it up WAY too much
---stupidly put out two system, which is like "Here you have a good system and a better, oh yeah the better systems cost more, but hey you get a completley awesome 'nex-gen' wireless controller(s), 'next-gen' Xbox Live for a year (which would turn you paid for it in the "better" console, 'next-gen' HDD (OMG :O a hard drive!), and a 'next-gen' interface ....oh yeah PS3 is going to have WAY better graphics and you'll forget they don't have an interface like ours and the Nintendo Revolution is going to have a controller in which you play an FPS on it Halo 3's gonna feel like crap"

---they shipped out VERY few regionally after pre-orders because they said "for who wants the platinum edition has to pre-order it, and we'll put like 2000+ out in the whole US

---made a VERY unstable power supply

---claim the 360 is smaller (a whopping TWO INCHES because the power supply isn't latched on)

---all the games out right now don't scream "next-gen" (and my computer is STILL better than the 360 and it's like 6 months old :O)

---Bill Gates claimed that Halo 3 will be out in 06, completely forgetting that it took Bungie 5 years to make HALO 2, and Bungie rep said they don't know what Gates is smoking ;p

---it's kinda MANDATORY to have a Hi-Def tele or the graphics will look muddy and downright ugly

---line-up is a BIG disappointment

---this is going to sneak up and snap your wallet's neck as it sucks a good $800-1000

yeah they haven't failed at all......not at all

- Sending the unit out early gave the world a taste of the next generation console, therefore spreading awareness and increasing demand.

- If you stood to loose billions of dollars, you'd hype up a product too. Plus you have little to no control over how much a third party 'hypes' up your product (magazines etc.)

- That point was just dumb. The systems vary to compensate for either high or low spenders in the market. Not everybody wants all the extras, let alone can afford them. Also, I don't remember seeing or hearing Microsoft claim that every single feature of the new console was 'next-gen', but I may have missed that.

- And the result is what? People are paying several times the retail price to get them and the worldwide community is hungry for it. It's perfect marketing, despite it being 'cruel' -- it's a business.

- How's it unstable? Becaue a few units broke? I have no idea so feel free to expand on that.

- You just contradicted yourself there. 'They claimed to make it smaller, and it's two inches smaller than the last one'. So, basically Microsoft met their claim; they said it would be smaller, and it is.

- The only way that the games can be 'next-gen' it to have HD output - which every single game for the 360 is required to have. My computer is better than the Xbox 360 too, but the point here is that my computer cost 5,203.84 USD. One hell of a lot more than the console. The 360 isn't far behind, and for about 6% of the price - it'll sell good.

- Hadn't heard of that or know anything about it, so no comment.

- It's hardly mandatory to have an HD system in your home. The graphics won't look any worse than they did before, and you weren't complaining then.

- Can't blame Microsoft if games developers don't get their finger out.

- The price will go down, just wait a bit.

Your idea of failing is, well, wrong basically. They have dominated this year's market, the demand for their product is quite literally through the roof and they can't make them quick enough to supply the need. That, my friend, is the exact opposite of failing.

....oh yeah PS3 is going to have WAY better graphics

The difference between the PS3 and 360's graphics will be minimal if any.

When developing the PS3, sony were originally going to use 2 cells, one for the cpu, one for the gpu(graphics processor) but decided this wouldn't work. They went to Nvidia, who gave them basically a pc graphics card to put in the ps3.

Microsoft went to ATI and had a specialised graphics chip made with 10 mb of built in edram, which is very powerful and helps with ani aliasing.

The PS3 will probably have slightly better processing power, but 360 developers will have more advanced and powerful graphics as their disposal. The 360 will also be very much easier to develop for, meaning quicker and cheaper high quality games than the ps3.


As for the people saying that it isn't as good a pc, of couse it isn't not console will ever beat a high end gaming pc.
They cost in the thousands and are easier to upgrade.
However for consoles, the developers don't nead to worry about their games accomodating different types of pc setup.

nah./.. xbox doesnt suck...

Reasons why it sucks right now.
1. Grafically (lolz), not one of the games out there for xbox even uses two of the 3 processors, they all use only 1 of it,. Just think when developers start making games in the xbox 360 level. The reason developers only use one processors is that they are all basing their games on the lowest possible setup, which would be ps2 or xbox quality. Thus we have sucky games on xbox 360,.
Predictions: By the time Sony will launch Ps3, developers will be moving on the to develop games in the power class of xbox 360, thus making the release date of the xbox 360 a very valid one, cause by then, it would be xbox new games versus PS3, not ps3 and xbox 360, and i see the winner in the name xbox 360.

2. Best possible setup for xbox,. Not everyone in the world has a HD tv widescreen for a 1080i resulotion , a wireless network with a windows media pc in there homes for media streaming. Not everyone has ober fast net connection for xbox live, and probably dont have the bucks to pay for it either. So quit ur whinning and get urself the best possible setup, cause i will. hihihih

3. Get ur self the $399 package with HD

and to answer ur prediction that ps3 will be around $999,. i highly doubt that. Sony invested around 1billion dollars into making their OWN factory in creating Cell processors, which is the heart of the PS3, so that will be a cost down. another price down will be PS3 will not have a HD on it.

2 words. Xbox SUX. lets not look at the console parts. the game parts. they already lost. so what if they had good specs and not good games to go along with it.

[PIE]i sense sarcasm [/PIE]
and i completely agree with everyone saying that xbox sucks. i'm not gonna rant about why it sucks since its already been posted a ton of times. anyway, to those who got it: have fun playing with crap *braces himself for flamage*

 

[spigga101]

reasons y its good - it prolly has acouple exploits here n there (demo iso (no protection) - possibly will open a way to backup games)/ woot no need for a dvd remote/ its from microsoft/ xboxlive (about the only real thing)

reasons y its bad - its from microsoft/ some duds -rarely / "please contact microsoft support error 21 blah blah blah"/ y r the hds so expensive nd small? $100 for 20 gb (double of what the old xbox was)/ y cant i just pay 100 for the usual 80gb hd n use that / wish it had more games/ YEAH it was overhyped bigtime/ "wtf wheres halo 3?!?!?!" (not really) / whats the point of the crappy core system?/ wheres the other fan? (powersupply+controller lol+everything else) / dam no softmods yet / still gotta listen to those 7 years say crap on xbox live lol

well i got one im ok with it more downs then ups but its still cool cuz by the time other the other 2 consoles come out il b able to get em neway

final words - wait for the other 2 to come out n choose what U think is best xD

 

[darko6]

wow so its our fault for everything huh...

our fault microsoft released a buggy system at launch and our fault for buying it when it comes out..wow

i never said that.... i said its the peoples fault for jumping the gun and being impatient. Why do you think they keep re-releasing ps2, gamecube, and xbox? They keep finding bugs and fixing them and trying to find ways to optimize the system.

 

[john_d]

now tell me.. all of u who says it sucks..

do u really have an xbox,. or u just copying wat everyone else is saying..

 

[The_Gatekeeper_]

I'll give you hint John_d, I've played about 2 hours of it so I know about the whole "gameplay" idea. as for all the other parts, are for the most part correct.

why should u give me a hint i have a freaking xbox 360...

 

[RsX]

To be fuckin honest, I'm going to wait for Playstation 3 and Nintendo Revolution to come out. For now I'm still leaning towards the Xbox 360 because Sony has CONFIRMED they wont have any "Playstation 3 Live", which for me, at least, is a KEY element for next-gen consoles.

 

[darko6]

also with the ps3, u cant rent, trade, or buy used games

 

[Smo]

also with the ps3, u cant rent, trade, or buy used games

Firstly, where'd you hear that? And secondly, why not?

 

[RsX]

theyre gonna have this protection thing so that games can only be played on one system.

 

[savageFromHell]

i just got my xbox about 2 weeks ago i played it alot and i am disapointed about the launch games they suck my ass will see about gears of war though hopefuly that will be good one of the things i like on it right now is i can steam video from my comp to my xbox

 

[RsX]

no offence but try using punctuation tbh you see its pretty hard to read anything without punctuation and it makes the whole thing sound repetitive and annoying anyways I think that xbox is the best for now we will see what ps3 and nr have in store for us also you see how i didnt use any punctuation at all for this whole post it sounds very repetitive and its very hard to understand

 

[darko6]

actually, i either heard it from g4tv or gamespot. either way its official.
